They say for every boy and girl
There’s just one love
In this whole world
And I know I’ve found mine
The heavenly touch of your embrace
Tells me no one can take your place
Ever in my heart
Young love, first love
Filled with true devotion
Young love, our love
We shared with deep emotion
Just one kiss from your sweet lips
Will tell me that your love is real
And I can feel that it’s true
We will vow to one another
There will never be another
Love for you or for me
Young love, first love
Filled with true devotion
Young love, our love
We shared with deep emotion
A little cafe in Phoenix, the Chicken Shack. Beef stew, hamburgers, Victory frys were a special order. Malts, and Coke from the dispenser. I'd bring my twelve-ton portable radio with the vacuum tubes for AC play, and the huge DC batteries, and the owner's son and I would listen to Young Love. His cute sisters, waaayyyy older than I, would squeal and run over and listen to Sonny James, too. Miss the Chicken Shack. Miss the people who ran it. Miss Bob The Giant who owned and ran it before it was the Chicken Shack.
My husband and I dated in 1958 and married in 1959 and he used to sing these love songs to me and I lost him 6 six years ago after being married for nearly 50 years - I can hear him singing this to me still. We have three great kids, seven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren and I know that he is not gone; just gone before - I can't wait to be with him once again - there never will be anyone else for me but him. Young people today just don't know what they are missing with all the vile, vulgar, and violent music they listen to...
I'm 44 years old , i don't listen to whats mainstream or pop anymore . I like this though it seems to hark back to earlier times when people were more wholesome and innocent ... i kinda like it ... where did we go wrong ?
You can't even imagine the looks I get driving threw town with this on.. being 22 & nobody around me has an idea what real music is. I smile & turn it up.
I think this was the first teenager love song when it came out as a "rockabilly" hit in the summer of 1956. It stayed at number 1 practically the whole summer and there are millions of us who still know all the words 59 years later. I may be prejudiced, but I still think Sonny James' "young love" is a pretty good song.
It was 1956, Sonny sang this song and played his 12-string guitar,
Marty sang White Sport Coat, Del Vikings sang Whispering Bells
and I was listening to it as I drove up US82 on my way from GA
to Ft Sill, OK via Wichita Falls. The 597th Artillery had just came
back from Germany and I had a girl friend in GA. We married Feb
1957 and we still are.
